It sucks getting hurt in training. It happened to me last week. We were sparring ‘lightly’ to end our workout, then all of a sudden I get a knee to my ribs, hear a ‘crack’ and I’m down on the ground, trying to understand why my world is a haze of red and sadness. Sitting here right now typing these words even hurts, but you know what hurts even more than my ribs? My mind. Because all I’m thinking about is how I want to be training but I can’t because I’m hurt. It’s annoying.
Training partners, as Joe Rogan said last week at UFC on FOX Sports; don’t be a knucklehead training partner. If I wanted to go full blast and get kneed in the ribs then I would take a motherf****ing fight. It’s cool though, I’ll pay it forward once I’m healthy.
Uriah Hall won’t though. He’s a nice guy. Marina is cool too. She didn’t mean it (I don’t think). Check out this training moment gone wrong.
